ShaderToyMark 0.3.0 OpenGL Pixel Shader Benchmark Updated

1 – ShaderToyMark 0.3.0 Overview

The third update of ShaderToyMark, the coolest pixel shader benchmark, is out. ShaderToyMark 0.3.0 does not include new features but comes with some bugfixes thanks to the latest iteration of GeeXLab.

ShaderToyMark is an OpenGL benchmark based on hefty pixel shaders. These pixel shaders (all credits are available HERE) have been written by demomakers and are available on iq’s WebGL app: Shader Toy. ShaderToyMark is an application built with the GeeXlab demotool.

ShaderToyMark is perfect to rank the raw processing power of modern GPUs. Check out the scores page to have an overview of the scores.

SLI and CrossFire multi-gpu technologies are supported. Just use the tricks detailed HERE.

Update (2011.12.16):
ShaderToyMark 0.3.0 running on Intel HD Graphics. The pixel shader that causes the problem (iq’s Leizex) requires the support of GL_EXT_gpu_shader4 and that might explain the bug on Intel’s GPU…

Something does not become less objectionable by not having been objected to by Steve Jobs, that would be a logical fallacy.
Futhermore, when they first presented the iPod, their presentations where much worse than today.
And lastly, while similar, the font used in the in the presentation is not Comic Sans.

I gave in return my attention (which is what I assume the poster likes to have) and on top of that my advice (Put programs in zip into their own directories!)
That’s a bit more than nothing. On top of that, I rightfully questioned the usage of the font as my membership in the Font Nazi Party demands.
I’m not *asking* for anything, I’m merely giving feedback.

I have Win7 x64 with AERO enabled and GTX 480 (stock+reference speed) with 285.62WHQL (HQ).

I got 274 points (45 fps) at default. 😀

ATTENTION: Very hot causes performance decreased abnormal after 1st time test but you must increase speed FAN from auto default to auto custom or manually 100% speed using EVGA precision or MSI Afterburner or other tool.
